The Oscars 2024 red carpet is underway, and the stars are already dazzling at the 96th annual Academy Awards.
The show starts at 4 p.m. — an hour earlier than usual — on ABC with late-night TV funnyman Jimmy Kimmel returning for a fourth time as host. “Oppenheimer” leads the pack of nominees with 13 nods, including Best Picture. The top award seems pretty much a lock for Christopher Nolan’s three-hour epic.
In fact, there seems to be little suspense in several categories tonight, save for Best Actress. Frontrunners Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone turned in universally acclaimed performances in “Poor Things” and “Killers of the Flower Moon,” respectively. Both triumphed at the Golden Globes when they were nominated in separate categories for comedy and drama. First-time nominee Gladstone seems to have a slight edge, having triumphed at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. If she wins, she’ll become the first Native American recipient of an acting award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Here are some of the best looks from the Oscars 2024 red carpet so far:
